Line 30: − Iamge:2Dsolarcelllayers.jpg|Fig 3: is a two dimensional diagram that shows the layers to be applied to a solar or photo voltaic cell. "A" is a layer of cover glass to protect the underlying layers. "B" is a layer of anti-reflective layer to prevent photon reflection. "C" is the top contact grid that allows for the transfer of electricity. "D" is the layer of the N-type material. "E" is the layer of P-type material. NOTE: This creates the needed P-N junction. "F" finishes the diagram as the back contact for the conduction of electricity through the cell. +

Image:SolarCellOperation.jpg|Fig 2: is a diagram that showcases how the current flows in a solar cell as rays of light or photons (the yellow arrows) strike the cell. Again the section labeled "A" is the n-type junction while the section labeled "B" is a p-type junction. The section labeled "C" is the load for the circuit. The electrons will flow starting at point "B" to point "A" then through the load "C." Then the electrons will complete the loop and return in a clockwise loop to point "B."
